They should have lots of loot for snow making then
On the flip side, when I left there were still 62 spots left in the Valley VIP lot.

Mogul skiing is cool and I feel is alot more centered around actual skiing than aerials. Again it's impressive and requires lots of skill but it's more like diving in the winter.
A good mogul run is cool to watch and gets you stoked, even in the Olympics aerials are impressive but I feel no stoke to ski.
I skied with him years ago at Snowmass, he absolutely destroyed moguls like he's to the downhill ski before you can blink but not a big high speed carver guy.
It all went to shit when they began seeding the bump runs. The old natural bump runs where there was no real line or jumps was where creativity and skill excelled. You had to pick your way through the bumps, picking a good one to launch a trick and lane back into the random bumps.
Not that these latest bumpers aren’t remarkable in their own right, ripping them at full speed and send some gymnastics off the jumps, but it’s just too rigid and took the “Hot Dog” and much of the fun out of it.
When mogul comps were Tits McGee…

Le Shite is usually totally rad. Today it looked like a shite glacier. I commend you with kudos and high honors for braving the shite glacier.
I forgot to add, early in the morning we saw a racer come down it, probably hit one of the groomer ditches and ate shite, yardsaling to the bottom.
Blue making Johnny Cash today!

Lots of fun to be had today as the snow was excellent mostly everywhere save Le Shite. A single run down that was plenty! Later in the morning. Stopped across from it to watch a snowboarder coming down on his back full speed directly for a girl who was standing near the bottom of Chute watching this guy headed right for her! In a bought of panic, she stood there like a deer in the headlights, but then got it together enough to move backwards just in time for the boarder to slide past her and into the Boulder ditch! Typical Blue antics!
Saw another boarder on Lazy just under the OG6 getting places on a back board and neck brace. Not good!
VIP line on the OG6 was the shit! We stayed until 1pm with only 5 or so minute wait times. Still wish people these days would learn to count to 6. I swear there’s a dimensional warp just before the lift as people weee mysteriously disappearing after they’d been grouped in 6s.
Mountain Dew & Vodka is Keith’s go-to since he can no longer drink beer due to his gout.

Thanks. I’m not too confident in that sort of thing. Maybe Blue should fix them since they mounted them. There was a guy in the tune shop at Bear who was real good with them. Not sure if he’s there anymore. I also wear boot gloves when it’s cold wonder if that effects them.
If you decide to give it a try, the Oracle of YouTube will help...

Not sure what you mean by "really hard to get my boot in" without really seeing it or be more descriptive?
Sounds like the forward pressure on the one possibly may not be set properly.
Perhaps if you're there on a weekday you could show me?Pivots can be very persnickety sometimes.
Oops, meant weekend...

Nice! Did you get bindings? And I have a question about the Look Pivots if anyone has an answer. Bought them last year at Blue and had them mounted there early this season. Unfortunately, the people I trusted there to work on my stuff are gone. Anyhow, the one is really hard to get my boot in. All the DIN settings are the same. I don’t think it’s the boot, because it does it on either foot.

its hard to tell if they are working on NMDW, which is what someone said they started yesterday. it kinda looks like they are, but its hard to tell. if you look at the vista cam, up in the very left hand corner it looks like some snow clouds, maybe the lower part of come around?
Ok, from the tubing cam it looks like DW is definitely on.
Guess they want NMWD for BMR Freestyle team to take...

Shit at this rate with the next 4 days if they go RTC (round the clock) they’ll have the entire place open.
They didn't have anything going earlier when I checked, now just ambiance guns going.
Why aren't they going hard on Challenge and/or Switch?They need to make snow while the temps are down, not piss them away!

What about all those many, many ski areas that don't have lights?
They save a lot of $ by not using electricity at night!

Insurance ? They turn them off right at 7am no matter what they are doing which says to me insurance said keep the lights on until daybreak and we'll take x off your policy.
Yet I remember them grooming before with all the lights out and going just by the groomer's lights.
I don't remember if that was before KSL took over or not.They may keep them on when there's new snow to be moved rather than like in the Spring when it's just flattening out the surface?

when i looked sometime around 5:30am they were on. Im pretty sure they were on Rasins, definitely saw some blow over onto main from like a gun around where the weenie wagon is.
i was kinda surprised they were on based on temps/PPL/Blue Mt, etc.
I thought I saw a post that learning center was going to be closed for snowmaking today?
Edit: Found it, Summit is going to be closed tonight for snowmaking.

so, yeah, how does either of those white cars leave?
Coming soon to a ski resort near you.......
Already has! You should have seen the CF they made in the lower payed lot the other day.
People were parking in random places until Tazer Dave got involved.Guess they have to take your keys so they can shuffle cars??

Keeps everyone else happy too since it’ll move the race team off of everything else. I no longer pull for Blue to make snow on razors for me to ski it, more so to move BMR to their private island and away from the rest of the mountain.
Why they don't try to open Widowmaker early for BMR is a mystery...

If the snow is light and fluffy at Blue like it is at my house, today should be a good snow sports day.
If only work wasn't in the way...

I had that this summer, it’s terrible! 3 rounds of cortisone shots, a break from hiking and from now until eternity; no barefoot walking. Always have to have slippers or crocs on inside.
Yikes! I'm forever barefoot. I don't know what I'd do if I had to wear something all the time, even if it were my Crocs.

Today
in Camelback
Posted
I remember cruising through Breck's central park one time we were out there and just rolling over the giant booter landings that are fucking steep and big as shit!
The people going off these have brass cojones the size of bowling balls!
